Scones are supposed to be sweet. What monster came up with that combination?

Love cheese scones, have to eat them warm with melty butter though and if making them myself I add some chillis to the mix

I love cheese scones.

What’s your view on savoury muffins?

I'd love a nice homemade cheese scone now. Cheese, chive and mustard powder.

Delicious hot with butter, especially with a pinch of mustard in the mix.

Cheese scones are the only type of scone I make Grin

Love also make for the DC as part of his weaning journey. I like a cheesey muffin too.

They are lovely
unlike scones with awful dried fruit in

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 13/06/2022 15:00

A good cheese scone, served warm with melting butter )and more cheese) is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. YABVVU.

You are wrong!

Cheese scones and in particular cheese and tomato scones are AMAZING.

Crikeyalmighty · 13/06/2022 15:01

Can I mention Gail's cheese scones with butter- absolute heaven!!!

Hopeful16 · 13/06/2022 15:03

Savoury afternoon tea with cheese scone smothered in cream cheese and chilli jam 😋 THE best!

shumway · 13/06/2022 15:04

I love a good cheese scone.

Belovedfool · 13/06/2022 15:05

Cheese scones are the only scones worth eating. So there.

Jackanackanory · 13/06/2022 15:05

I’ve never had a shop-bought cheese scone, I’ve only ever made my own and they are, even if I say so myself, bloody lovely!

TitsHerbert · 13/06/2022 15:06

Cheese scones are the good of the gods. Yabvu
Served warm with butter and jam ah-mazing

TitsHerbert · 13/06/2022 15:07

*food even

billy1966 · 13/06/2022 15:08

Love them.
Also like to add super finely diced sundried tomatoes with some of the oil of the jar thrown in.

So good.

bellinisurge · 13/06/2022 15:09

The only true scone. And it's pronounced like "gone" not "stone".

drivinmecrazy · 13/06/2022 15:09

You are very very very wrong !!
Until last year my very elderly but lovely neighbour would drive me nuts with her constant calls and texts to ask me to drive her somewhere or just pop over to open a jam jar, but once a week she would present me with half a dozen cheese scones.
It made all the running around during the week absolutely worth it!!
I so miss her cheese scones (obviously miss her too but not as much as her scones 😂)

motogirl · 13/06/2022 15:10

Cheese scones are amazing, serve with good butter, strong hard or crumbly cheese (not Camembert or Brie) and chutney. Yummy

thistimelastweek · 13/06/2022 15:10

I have used these exact words myself. Cheese scones are indeed abominations. Particularly those that masquerade as regular yummy scones.

Cheese straws are unspeakable.

TheDogsMother · 13/06/2022 15:12

100 x better than the sweets IMHO. Cheese straws are food of the Gods.
